disposing of the entire lot in few hours.
Culfee's deep-seated and answering adora-
ton for this particular variety of the finny
tribe is proverbial, and though the mullet
may oftimes be eyed with suspicion and dis
trust by over-carcful epicures, faint odor
emanatiag from a barrel containing them
but tends to increase his desire for them and
has the effect of at once "clinchingn the
trade.
At Louisville few days ago +. w. Nc
Carly had his house broken open The
house is tolerably high off the ground. and
the burglars took barrels and stood upon
them and opened window. They took out
everything from the bureau drawers and
| scattered them ON the floor and went through
everything in the bedroom. They were
evidently in search of money for if they
took anything it could net be discovered.
The tracks indicated that woman and child
did the work. Doubtless she put the child
! in the window, and she watched while it
searched for money. 1t was daring piece
of work, for the window entered is at the
| front of the house and near the street. There
is no clue as to who the parties are
Misses Carrie and Mary Croft and Miss
| Annie Blackmon spent very pleasant day
with Mr. and Mrs. w. II. Boyd, in Cham
bers county, Alabama. last Monday. As
they were returning to West Point on Tues
day morning in carriage furnished by Mr.
| Boyd, the team, consisting of a mule and a
horse, became frightened at passing wagon
containing machinery and dashed TO one
side, overturning the vehicle, breaking it
| into fragments, swapping the pole in twain
and breaking the traces. The frightened
beasts rushed madly away, leaving the
| young ladies under the wreck. The runa-
| way was witnessed by several persons, who
| quickly ran to their rescue. The ladies were

bruises Their escape was almost miracu-

| The belief that Mr. Davis may be induced
! to visit Athens during the Northeast Geor-
| gia Fair is strengthening, and it is pretty
| well understood that a committee will go
! from Athens to Beauvoir in a few days
! Hon. Jefferson Davis has promised to be in
Macon Oct. 26, and will probably remain
two or three days The unwilling of the
Lee monument is to come off in Richmond
| Oct. "a. If the Richmond ceremonies are
| postponed for few days, Mr.. Davis may
stop in Athens on his way to Richmond, or
may return in time to take in the Northeast
| Georgia fair on his way from Richmond to
Beauvoir This trip will probably be ar
ranged for him, going or returning. 1t is
! understood that the City Council the citizens
of Athens, Mrs Howell Cobb, the Uni
versity and female colleges will join in
| the invitation to President Davis TO visit
| Athens.
The Chinese of Atlanta go to Sunday
| school, eleven being in one class. Mrs. Z.
j. Sanger, who lives at 241 Rawson
| street, went to Atlanta about two years
ago from Boston. There she was connected
with a Congregational church. DR.. Nc
| Kenzie, the pastor, told the members of the
Sunday school there that while good deal
| of money was being spent in sending mis-
/ ein n Cinnamon IiNrin
in heather darkness right around them, and
he thought it would cost very little to do
missionary work among the Chinese in
Boston. At this suggestion the ladies of
that church went to work and soon organ
lied Sunday school of eighty-two China
men, who attended regularly and learned
English rapidly. When Mrs. Sanger came
to Atlanta she found that nothing of the
kind had been done. She went around to
the laundries and soon got about all of them
in a Sunday school class at the Church of
the Redeemer.
Americas Recorder: Yesterday morning
we received copy of the Pacific Aduer-
tiSer a paper published at Honolulu, the
! capital of the Sandwich Islands. 1t men
| tions the recent arrival in port of the United
States steamer Vandalia, seventeen guns.
The vessel carries a complement of 2l0 men,
| not including officers, and among the list of
II.
Cooper, of this city. In private letter
from him, written since the arrival
of his vessel there, he speaks in
glowing terms of the beautiful island in the
far-of southern sea, and compares it to an
earthly Eden. During the past twelve
months he has Travelled more than 30,0O0
miles ever the trackless ocean, being thirty
seven days on his last voyage between Cal
lao and Honolulu, during which time no
SIphtpH a of
ton passed. The Vandalia will make
heightened stay at Honolulu, after which
she may probably make cruise in Asiatic
waters.
Albany NetUs and Advertiser. The ten
dency towards testing the value of new ag-
ricultural products in this section with the
end in view of further crop diversification
is very encouraging. The watermelon and
hay crops have been q comparatively recent
addition to the marketable products of
Dougherty and the success of the expert
ment is most gratifying. Other plants are
of equally great value as money crops if we
could but establish the conditions favorable
to their utilization. Broom corn would pay
handsomely il some one would only display
enterprise enough to establish broom fac
tory. The profitable operation of the fac
tory is removed from all questions of doubt
by the success of the undertaking in other
the Netos and Advertiser desires to call
the attention of our people; that is the cas-
tor bean. Ii grows most luxuriantly and
fruits most prolifically in this climate and
soil. There is every reason to believe that
| it would prove paying crop if the Albany
| Oil Mill would prepare to extract the oil
| from the beans. The same presses now used
| by them would answer to press out the oil,
but different huller would be necessary.
| The cost of the additional machinery u
make the castor oil, would be- inconsidera-
| BILE, and prove of great advantage to the
company. The mill could then crush its
supply of cotton seed, and after its exhaus
tion could work in castor beans. The IVES
tern Castor Oil Mills pay 81 per bushel for
the beans, from which they extract one and
a half gallons of oil worth fully $l.40 pei
| gallon.
